Qiwei Kitchen - Rowland Heights

We often came here and brought a lot of family and friends here to eat. My last review was posted 7 years ago with a 4 star review. However, quality has declined dramatically over the years. They began to stab meat and veggie. They don't put any more garlic, sometimes you will find 1 garlic. I asked her why no more garlic. The lady said because some people don't eat garlic. Have you seen a Chinese person who doesn't want garlic in the dish? I do not eat the garlic, but garlic improves the taste of food. If they don't do well, they should just be real and tell me that business isn't good and need to reduce costs. We apologize that some people don't eat garlic is ridiculous to me. Maybe they don't do well and try to reduce costs, but the stinging on the food will cause fewer people to go.

Just think of hot pot but with no soup. If you're a hot pot lover but sometimes you're not in the mood for soup. Dry pot is the way to go. The menu is very simple, you bscially can pick a single or combo which comes in 2 different meat. It comes with assorted veggies, such as bean sprouts , celery, cauliflower, ect. You can also add additional veggies from the menu for additional price. we ordered the combo large pot, with intestines and chicken wings with mild spicy. You can choose the spicier level if you can handle, but the server recommed mild to be on the safe side. The intestines and the chicken came out to be perfectly cooked. Spice level is good. Service was fast and great, we got our food no lalter than 10-15 minutes. We did come on a Wednesday, Weekends do get busy. I see that they offer on skewers on the skillets, I'd love to come back to try it.

Really delicious and spicy food. We ordered fish fillet dry pot with vegetables. The food was very fresh and nicely prepared. This is bone of the places on my go to list.

LOCATION: Yes Plaza PARKING: VERY HARD TO FIND PARKING. I came on a Friday night around 7 PM, and the lot was full. Parking spots are also small. WHAT WE ORDERED: Medium Dry Pot $26.99) We chose mild spice, garlic base, and pork spare ribs as our choice of meat. This can feed 3/4 people! I used to always go to Sizzling Pot King when I was in San Diego, and when I heard there was a restaurant that had dry pot, I had to get my fix! The taste is highly similar to SD's, although Qiwei tasted saltier. Prices are on par as well. We had a bit of a hard time communicating with the servers because most spoke Chinese. Their menu and receipts are also in Chinese, and I, as a Vietnamese person, would've had a lot of trouble if I didn't come with my Chinese friends LOL. The menu was also a bit confusing because we had to circle what we wanted? We didn't know, so the server just circled it for us when she came around. I am now looking for a restaurant specializing in dry pot in OC because I cannot keep driving to Rowland Heights.

At least don’t order their bbq items the cook who cook the bbq items smoke and I saw him dump the cigarette ash in the cooking area who knows if he has throw any cigarette butts in it. It’s a safety and health concern
